PIONEER EXCURSION RATEs-While

PIONEER EXCURSION RATEs.-While
in Portland, few days ago, the writer
was informed by Mr.. A. ID. Charlton,
General Passenger Agent OF the North
ern Pacific Railroad, that his company
WAS prepared to make exceptionally
favorable rates to the Pioneers OF
Washington Territory, for an excur-
sion party, of one or more carloads to
the East, this Summer, across the
switchback. The rate for the trip to
ST. Paul and return from Olympia, Ia
coma or any other point tapped by
the company's line, has been fixed at
$50, and the return coupon will be
good for six months. The trip, if one
is arranged, will be made in cars as
signed to the exclusive Use of the
party and fitted up expressly for the
occasion. As the annual meeting Of
the Pioneers occurs next month, We

ment to afford time for consideration
of the subject before action will be-

these favorable terms are accepted.
1t seems as if it would be folly to wait
for better rates for trip of nearly a.
600 miles in length, and to make a
journey that will constitute one of the
chief events and cherished recollec.
tions of lifetime. 1t is based upon
mileage rate of q cents, or about

THE CHAMPION LUMBER-CUT.-
Steamboat racing has been succeeded
by mill contests on Puget Sound, and
the Port Blakely mill did her best last
Saturday and cut 100000 in ten
hours. The Tacoma mill began hel
record Wednesday morning at 7 o'clock
At noon 225, 900 feet had been cut; al
2 is p. NJ. the score had reached 315,
600 feet, and when the mill shut
down at 5 80 p. NJ, the grand total
stood at 416, 1874 feet. This cut of ten
hours is said to be the largest eve,
made by mill of like capacity. The
Ledger says that the Chippewa Falls
Boom & Lumber Company of Wiscon-
sin once cut 537,O 900 feet in twelve
hours, but the lumber was soft pine
The lumber sawed and cut was run
through all the machines as is usual
daily; it WAS the common run such as
is daily cut, and a fair square and hon.
est cut with very little heavy stuff
Not the slightest break occurred to any
portion of the machinery and every.
thing moved like clock-work. At the
close of the days work the mill-men
were given one of the finest dinners
they ever sat down to, at their quarters
of the mill. Superintendent Atkinson
spared no pains to prepare this feast
1t was big day for the employees
and officers of the Tacoma mill.

WONDERFUL

The story Of American progress is
wonderful. From north and south
from east and west, come reports of
industrial growth which no country
can equal. A paper which Mr.. Up

glneers contains remarkable facts
bearing on this subject. He said:

per annum.
In186O our metal industries employ

THE JUDITH BASIN.

The establishment Of direct com
munication between Great Falls and
the Judith Basin by the Billings
coach, connects this city with a rich,
productive region, where hardy set
tiers have cultivated the land, grown
large wool clips and made fair prog
ress in the mining industry. Trade
will follow in the path of the stage
coach. An intelligent correspondent
Of the Northwest Magazine says that
imnraunl- onv foa-
sin, and he adds: The enormous
yield per acre Of wheat and other &C.
real crops in this basin point with no
unerring aim to a time not far distant.
when the Judith will be one of the
chief granaries Of the northwest. A
railroad with its accompanying low
rates OF transportation is all that is
necessary and the generous soil togeth
er with additional acreage, will furn-
lsh all the grain that the increased
mining population will demand"
In addition to the general trade Of
the judith basin, Great Falls may ex-
pect to receive q large share Of the
wool produced there. The correspon-
dent says that the basin produces
100000 pounds of wool, and very
properly desires wool factories at
home as the cost of sending that clip
to market is nearly $50, 900. Besides
the sheep industry, the Judith has
about $500 horses and $4,000 cattle.
These farm products are supplement-
ed by those of the mining camps,
which judge Bach observed mot only
produce wealth and enrich the coun-
ty treasury, but they also afford to
those who r engaged in ~agricultur-
al pursuits consumers for their prod
ucts." The same good authority

tains the possibility of more wealth

IN SESSION.

Congress meets Monday and in a
short time the country will be reading
the presidents message. The party
strength in both the senate and
house is almost evenly balanced. The
republicans will control the senate
organization, while the democrats
will elect the speaker Of the house,
but there are Independents who
might be said to hold the balance Of
power.
As this session will precede the
presidential election, congress is not
likely to undertake much general

will however come to the front, de-
spite the desire of some party leaders
to leave things very much as they are.
Colonel Mcclure, who has been re-
Gently at Washington outlines the
policy which the democratic majority
will endeavor to pursue. He says:
"Mr. Carlisle will be elected speaker.
He will not attempt to force any particu-
lar tariff policy upon the party. There
will be no attempt to frame a tariff bill,
or a bill reducing internal taxation, with
out the fullest conference between the
representatives Of all shades Of opinion
on the subject, and any revision of the
tariff must be upon the basis Of protection
to American labor, against foreign COM
petition. Taxes will he reduced from
$780, 900 900 to $ 8,000,O00 per annum-the
larger amount being most generally IA
vored. The measures for tariff revision
and the reduction Of taxation, will be so
framed as to command the solid demo
cratic vote, with some support from east
ern and western Republicans. No effort
will be made to revise the tariff on a free
trade basis. The tobacco tax will be re-
pealed, although there may be some mod

Colonel Mcclure, who is understood
to have acted as pacifcator between
Randall and Carlisle says also that
the presidents message will en-
phatically demand revenue reduction"
and that Speaker Carlisle will try to
carry out his recommendations.
While the Mcclure plan seems excel
lent, the extremists on either side are
powerful enough to block legislation
and force an appeal to the country.
The protectionists would gladly e
the tariff reduced, but they wish to
it themselves. The free ira
aers are likewise distrustful of any
plan which IS not inspired by them
As the demand for tax reduc-
slon IS not very strong in the west,
congress may finally leave things very
much as they are.

that railroads extend continuously
from Canada to the city of Mexico,

derive some encouragement from the
extension OF telegraph lines, which
form a continuous chain from New
